Setting and environment
Simulation 9 places its action in a horror setting, and the player works through self contained puzzle rooms. The publisher supplies 9 storefront screenshots of these environments. The view is from a first person view.
Why Simulation 9 is demanding
Simulation 9 asks a lot of the graphics card. It targets NVIDIA RTX 3070 / RTX 3070 Ti, which our tables put above the RTX 3060, so Simulation 9 tends to define the machine you build rather than fit around one you own. DirectX 12 is named, so Simulation 9 expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. Simulation 9 names Windows 11, so a Windows 10 machine may need attention first. An SSD is specified rather than suggested. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Simulation 9 scales hard with the hardware you give it. At 32 GB, the RAM requirement is the one most likely to catch an otherwise capable PC out.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Simulation 9?
Simulation 9 is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a NVIDIA RTX 3070 / RTX 3070 Ti-class graphics card, with NVIDIA RTX 2060 / RTX 2070 Super the floor just to launch at minimum settings. Plan for a recent high-end GPU rather than a mainstream one.
Bottleneck: RAM
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.77x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.43x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.19x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
Common GPUs
| Graphics card | Verdict |
|---|---|
| GTX 1060 6 GB | Below minimum |
| GTX 1060 Laptop | Below minimum |
| GTX 1650 4 GB | Below minimum |
| GTX 1650 Laptop | Below minimum |
| RTX 2060 6 GB | Playable |
| RTX 2060 Laptop | Playable |
| RTX 3060 12 GB | Runs well |
| RTX 3060 Laptop | Playable |
| RTX 4060 8 GB | Runs well |
| RTX 4060 Laptop | Playable |
| RTX 3070 8 GB | Runs great |
| RTX 3070 Laptop | Runs well |
| RTX 4070 12 GB | Runs great |
| RTX 4070 Laptop | Runs well |
| RX 6600 8 GB | Runs well |
Each card is compared against Simulation 9's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
